Predictions of chlorophyll concentration from satellite ocean color are an indicator of phytoplankton primary productivity, with implications for foodweb structure, fisheries, and the global carbon cycle. Current models ...

This paper describes a scatter diagram approach for the classification of large numbers of current profiles for use in the prediction of riser fatigue damage due to vortex-induced vibration. Scatter diagrams have long been ...

Buried mines have been so far generally considered undetectable by conventional high frequency sonars mostly due to the low levels of energy penetrating into the sediment at high frequencies. Furthermore, in a shallow water ...

The upper ocean crust contains a comprehensive record of the shallow geological processes active along the world's mid-ocean ridge system. This thesis examines the magnetic and seismic structure of the upper crust at two ...

Obtaining accurate and repeatable navigation for robotic vehicles in the deep ocean is difficult and consequently a limiting factor when constructing vehicle-based bathymetric maps. This thesis presents a methodology to ...
